Both teams come in contrasting form. The Oilers are expected to win this game because of their better team composition and offensive strength.
The Canucks are dependent on Miller, and when he's isolated, they do not have enough strength to compensate. The Oilers are the favorites to win this one.
Prediction: Take the Oilers at spread, -1.5
